“THREE REASONS WHY I SHOULD GO TO CHURCH!”
GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY!
1. God comands it—‘‘Forget not the assembling of yourselves together.” You’re disobedient
if you don’t!
2. “‘My House Is a House of Prayer.”” Your country needs your prayers. You’re a slacker
if you don’t.
3. Your life demands it! God’s in His House. You'll find His blessing there. You’re the loser
if you miss this chance.

For Use of Soldiers
Several days ago The Georgian
announced that stubs of pencils,
thousands of them, were desired
by the Y. M. C. A. for the use of
soldiers on board outgoing trans
ports, so they could slip away to
some corner in the ship and write
letters home.
Jettie and Johnnie Wilbank,
who live in Lanett, Ala., just
across the Georgia line, saw the
story, and on Saturday there
came to The Georgian a large
pasteboard box filled with brand
new pencils, ready for use, and
a letter from their mother, Mrs,
Luella Wilbank. It said:
“Please accept these pencils as
a token of love and best respect
to our soldiers who are leaving
daily for overseas. We bid them
God-speed, and they have our
love and heartiest wishes as they
g 0 away. These pencils were col
lected by Jettie and Johnnie Wil
bank from friends in Lanett. I
myself have given two sons to
the army and am very proud of
them.”
Defends His Vote on War Meas
ures and Ridicules Opponents
Before Habersham Voters.
CLARKESVILLE, Aug. 10.-—Sena
tor Thomas W. Hardwick spoke herei
Friday to about 126 people from sev- !
eral different parts of Haherthn.m‘
County. He wasg introduced by M. A.‘
Ivester, justice of the peace of this
county. {
Mr. Hardwick spoke in behalf of‘
his candidacy in about the same way
a 8 he has heretofore. He spent moat‘
of his time in defending his vote on
war measures, and on several occa
sions brought forth applause on pa
triotic utterances as well as humor
ous ridicule of Howard and Harris.
It was evident that a majority of
his hearers were in sympathy with
his candiddcy. He declared that in
his announcement for Senator to suc
ceed himself he had had assurance
from nearly every militia district of
Georgia that he would be successful
on September 11,
Mr. Hardwick declared that he was
as patriotic as anyone else, but be
lieved in frece speech, and that he ex
ercised this privilege afforded by the
Constitution of the United States in
support of the volunteer system in
stead of the selective service. He said
that the volunteer system had proven
« success in Canada and Australia,
and that had his amendment been
passed by Congress from 5,000,000 to
6,000,000 volunteers could have been
rrised in the United States.
